Every so often, you need a card for that sports lover. Look no further than the Cricut Sports Mania cartridge! This thing is jam packed with cool sayings, backgrounds and layered images for all your favorite sports: football, soccer, volleyball, basketball, swimming, golf, tennis, track, baseball, softball, hockey, etc.

I needed a card to thank our neighbor for giving us tickets to the Dallas Stars. These weren't just any tickets either because we were up against the glass behind the goalie. It was great! Even more fun was the fact that the Stars were playing our favorite team, the Tampa Bay Lightning. We've been fans since they started! Here are some shots I got with my camera:

I thought I would put together this simple 5" x 7" card for a thank you.

The "Hockey is Life" and hockey player were both cut at 3" using base, layer, blackout and shadow feature keys. I chose these colors because these are the Dallas Stars colors.

I popped up the hockey player using pop dots. I also cuttlebugged the white background using the Herringbone folder.

I decorated the inside with a strip of herringbone paper and a sentiment. Paper is by Stardream (gold cardstock), Core'dinations, Basic Grey and Bo Bunny.

Tune in tomorrow for a gorgeous layout that Melanie will be posting! It's sure to impress!

I love the card. I have this cart and I know I will get plenty of use with it since my 8 year old son loves to play just about any sport! As he gets older, this will be perfect for him! It would also make him great birthday cakes with a cricut cake. Thanks guys for the opportunity!

You did a great job,always something good on your blog, so tyty for sharing!!!, and ty again for giving me a chance to win that awesome cake cricut machine...have a great day, I'll be crossing my fingers

Awesome!! I have to hang my head in shame over my team (at least this year!) I'm from Buffalo so the Sabres and Bills have given us almost NOTHING to cheer about. And I have been a lifelong Yankees fan. While Texas may have beaten us the year....they are soon to be finished too.

I'm going to have to take another look at that cartridge. Looks like a great one for the masculine cards needed on a regular basis. Thanks for another great idea and for all the opportunities to win fun supplies. Carolee

Hockey lovers will think this is the best card ever. Thank you for sharing and also the giveaway who could forget about that???? Go ahead and make my day with this wonderful giveawayThank youLinda in Stanwood

Great Card ... I have to admit I'm a little jealous ... The Stars are my team and since we moved to the midwest 10 years ago we've only been to Colorado or Detroit games .... Those were awesome seats you had... I'm gonna have to get this cart since we are huge sports fans and I have a lot of pictures from sports events to scrap ...

How nice of your friends to give you tickets AND how lucky was it that they were playing your fav team??! This is the perfect thank you card and I like how you also decorated the inside of the card...I've got to remember to try that. Thanks for the chance to win such a great prize...I've got my fingers crossed!!

You know, I have NEVER even thought of using the sports cart. I haven't even given it a second glance, because I didn't think that it would have anything on it that I would ever use. I think that I will have to give it a shot now.

I am so happy that they finally came out with an all occasion sports cartridge! Your card is awesome! I like Hockey myself and never imagined seeing anything other than stickers for that sport. So so so happy!!!! Great shots by the way!!!
